My question is -Why do you guys choose to flash a new bios?
I'm new to Nvidia card, but isn't the Core voltage unlocked already?

#1 To get a bit more voltage than stock vbios.
#2 To prevent throttling by disabling gpu boost/tweaking the power table.

Thanks.
Just noticed that my EVGA can't go higher then 1.230 V, so i can go higher with a modified bios?
So boost is still present even if i overclock to +200/+500? How much is the boost?
 
Which program is prefered when editing and flashing bios? With my AMD cards i used VBE7.0.0.7b and ATIWinflash and thoose worked fine, but i guess i wont work with Nvidia.
 
 
EDIT: And another question.
I'm running my new EVGA GTX 980 Ti 6GB ACX 2.0+ SC+ straight out of the box with no manually overclock.
The specs from EVGA says
Core clock: 1102 MHz, (1190 Mhz Boost Clock)
Memory clock: 3506MHz
But....
 
While running Unigine Heaven
MSI AB says
Core clock: 1342MHz
Memory clock: 3506MHz
and Unigine Heaven says
Core clock: 1493MHz
Memory clock: 3505MHz
 
Why, and which one should i trust?

Yes, you can get up to 1.281v with a modded vbios. Yes, boost still works after overclocking. You'll have to run a benchmark program to figure out how much it will boost to. MaxwellBiosTweaker v1.36 is the preferred tool for tweaking vbios on maxwell cards. Nvflash is the preferred tool for flashing. Heaven is wrong, trust the msi ab reading. Running a custom vbios with boost disabled can also correct the reading in heaven/3dmark.

I got a raw deal on the ASIC value of 58% on my EVGA 980 TI SC. I am having problems OCing past 1200! I am going to return it should I go ahead and upgrade to the classy?
 
6600K
Corsair Vengance LMx 2666 (going to upgrade)
Corsair 100i GTX
Gigabyte z170MX gaming 5 (Wish evga made a mATX board, may upgrade to SLI)
corsair air 240 case
 
 
once I get a card going to work some of the same magic in this thread
 
Thanks

I say go classy as I think they are cherry picked better. The vanilla cards just need to be good enough to run at default/ reference

We can get more voltage and power control of the card to push it harder/ with my default bios I was able to get only to 1325 and it would down clock hard after 65c but with these bios we can go farther. I am able to go to 1420mhz and some have hit higher!

Trust After Burner and also GPUZ, are you running stock bios or the one made in the forum?

Again, thanks :)
I'm using stock bios atm and i think it's better to make my own bios just to learn something new, but also put the blaim at myself if something goes wrong :)
 
I looked around in MaxwellBiosTweaker earlier and it seems pretty straight forward, but the new part that i've never seen before is the Power table and Clock states.
All i want to do is to remove Boost completely, able to put more voltage from MSI AB and higher Power limit.
Is  still up-to-date?

What is "up to date" Lol I am confused as much as  Sajin  is

Don't know if any mod edited my post. There's a guide from another forum that i linked to that just disappeared :)
Well i give it a new shot since i didn't get any warning
 
EDIT: Nope... That link are being removed every time i post it :P
Google "Disable Boost and "Bake-In" Max Game Stable Clocks for Maxwell"
